China firms in UK urged to take 'precautions' over Brexit

Beijing

CHINESE companies operating in Britain, especially in the financial sector, or whose European headquarters are in Britain, need to take "precautions" due to uncertainty over Brexit, China's ambassador to London said.

Before Britain's vote to exit the European Union in June last year, China had not directly stated an opinion, viewing it as an internal matter and saying only that it wanted to see a strong and stable Europe.
